Mullins to miss a lot of time?

Strange thing is whenever I see video on Kjerstad, he really doesn't look all that slow to me.  

How often do you see him running alongside another player?

I highly recommend you watch this.  Well worth it:

 

I couldn’t take me eyes off of Ced’s gams. Mookie has chicken legs by comparison.

Orioles need another bat with Mullins being injury-prone. And they definitely need pitching help.

Not typically going to see that in MLB but you knew that. Only circumstantial evidence but HK has 5 triples this year in about 300 ABs between BOW and NOR. You can see videos of him running on NOR website. In each case he makes it easily to 3B. Supports the Fangraphs data I posted above. Tony says HK is sneaky fast.

I wouldn't call him injury prone.   He had never been on the DL once in his entire career until this year.  He played 159 and 156 games the past two seasons.

Do you really think that your SPR metric is accurate to two or three decimal places?  That Ortiz is the fastest guy we have as a prospect?  That he is faster than Cowser, who is a viable center fielder?  I have more faith in the Scouting Scores from MLB, which appears to be a concencis of the MLB scouts. Kjerstad is a 6'3" 205 pound power hitter

But he is this year, it seems.

Any update on Means ? Was supposed to start his rehab at the beginning of Seotember

I wonder if they will have Ced play two rehab games then call him up Monday or give him more time? Will be very nice to have him back.

If they can't take their time, I hope they do.

I can't recall if this is an aggravation relating to the last injury but he seemed to come back quickly... Too quickly, perhaps.

 

How can we get other guys rested right now but back in time to get a groove on in late September?

[emmett16]

I didn’t realize he would be back so soon.  I was thinking he’d be back towards middle/end of the month.  This is a pleasant surprise. 

[Moshagge3]

I miss Cedric as much as the next guy, but man, I sure hope this medical staff knows what it's doing. I'd rather have a 100% Mullins in September and October than a 75% Mullins right away.

Hope Cowser gets his first ML home run before he goes back down.   Cedric was pretty rusty last time.
